thoughts and emotions. The mate

but the time that passed before his
head emerged above the deck as he

age.

man there ought to be mentioned. This

And you may stop awh le ard play

AZ once the boy, but four years old,
Ran of to do as he was told.
With dimpled hands the pail he swung
And listened while the robins sung;
He scaled the wall with greatest care,
His bright eyes spied the daisies fair,
Yet d d not stop for flower or bird
Until his fathers voice he heard.
For glad, indeed, was Ted TO go,
To watch the axe swing TO and fro,
Aud play with chips so clean and neat
All scattered round his fathers feet;
To-day he found a goodly pile,
Enough TO last him long while,
Pushed In heap between two trees,
The fathers work his boy TO please.
So when the lunch was out OF sight,
Ted built chip houses nice and tight
Till, from his fathers axe, there flew

Just where the father aimed his blowi
He saw his boy, alas! too late,
TO save him from the dreadful fate;
The axe went down; with frightened cry
The child rolled of 'mongst branches dry,
Then sobbing, sprany up safe and sound;
Stray hairs upon the axe were found;
With tears, the father knelt in prayer
And thanked God for His wondrous care.
Then rose and lying plain in sight

Cut by the axe. With tender care,

he had not the slightest interest in

The mate went directly to the negro.
"Hold out your hands," he said.

powerful arm thrust the mate aside.
His clasp-knife was plucked from his
waistband, opened and brandished;
with yell he sprang toward the Cap

glaring; those who saw his face saw
something more pitiless and ferocious
than is in the faces of wild beasts.
There was loud report; the negro
suddenly stopped. His eyes rolled hor-
ribly in his head; his knife dropped
from his grasp. He threw uphis arms,
plunged forward, and fell in n heap on

The crew fell back, dumb and con-

bled them at the capstan, the anchor
came up, the sails were spread, slowly
and awkwardly. and the bark with
wind and current in her favor, so that
nothing was needed, sailed out past

To the open sea.

Captain Willis was no sooner on

"Call the crew aft, Mr.. Hardy" he
said. "rvo word to say to them"
They came, most of them sauntcring
along with their hands in their pockets,
and looking altogether very unlike n
good ships company. The four
negroes stood in a group by them
selves. Dick Purvis stood with his cap
in his hand, in an attitude of respectful
attention; the others were collected
behind these. Captain Willis surveyed
them moment with an eye like n
hawk, and then spoke clearly and dis
tinctly:

The four negroes did not stir.
The others had started, but seeing
that something was about to happen,
they paused.
"Go forward. I sayr' repeated the
Captain, sternly.

Two Balloon Stories.

In talk with John Forepaugh last
night, SAYS Il writer in the Philadelphia
Nsrs, | heard several interesting stor-
les OF adventures with hOt-air balloons
Eve used 10 initiate the balloons and
send them Skyward at every stopping
point of the Forepsugh show, he said.
land | remember now one incident in
regard To these balloons which occurred
in 1874 at Chester. There was = large
crowd on the grounds, and man we
called Big Smith was inside the bag
while it Was being inflated. At last the
balloon bulged out, nearly full, and
Smith crawled from under Twenty
five men were holding the balloon, and
Smith, after he got outside the machine,
saw candy butcher named Mitchell
standing near him. Before any one
could count live Smith grabbed Mitch
ell, threw him in the basket, and veil
ed, Let go" The men dropped the
ropes, the balloon shot aloft like rock
ell, and ten thousand people strained
their eyes as they saw ii grow smaller
and smaller, until it was out of sight.
When the balloon WAS first skipping
toward heaven Mitchell head could be
seen over the edge OF the basket, as ha
yelled. Help. for Gods sakeH When
the big bag hoated beyond the range of
vision dozen men started northward
the way the wind carried the balloon
in teams. They drove eight OF ten
miles, and they found the balloon with
the wretchsd Mitchell lying helplessly
in the basket on the bank of d creek.
Mitchenrs head had actually turned
white from fright in his hours ride in
the clouds.
Several years after that, n another
town, Big Smith was inside another
balloon while it was being inflated
After it was full of hot all he crswled
over the edge OF the basket and another
man got in Tor a trip through the ozone
belt. Some one yelled, Let co. The
ropes were loosansd, but one rope on
the side on which Smith va. getting
out, took turn around his leg. clutch
ed him tightly and as the balloon shot
skyward it took Smith with it by the
| ankle. His terrified companion IN the
basket. who heard the cry of horror
that swept over the crowd, could not
help him, for if he changed his position
the chances were that the basket would
upset or thar the rope would unc0il.
After about ten minutes the balloon
came down with Smith unconscious
and his head full Of blood. However.
he recovered, and is Vet in the show
business.

Andrew jackson and the Veteran

A general in the Revolutionary war,
who was well known by jackson, was
postmaster Of a prominent New York
town. He had been an Adams man,
and Silas Wright, one of the ablest rep
resentatives the state ever had, and
Martin Van Buren,, who was then Jack
sons secretary of state, formed a coali-
ton to have the veteran warrior ren1ov-
ed SOON after Jackson had taken the
oath of Office. The scared hero deter
mined to see Jackson and plead his own
cause He called on Jackson at the
white house The president sngased
in familiar conversation with him,
when to his anaazenenr the old soldier
said:
Gen Jackson, have come here to
talk to you about nv Office; the polite
tans want to take it away from NE;
and have nothing else 70 live upon. -
The president made no reply until
the aged postmaster began To take
OF his coat in the most excited man
ner, when old Hickory broke out with
the inquiry:
What in hesven's name are you GO
ing 10 do?'
well. sir. l am going to show you
my wounds which L received fighting
for my country against the English "
PUT il Oh at once. sir was the re-
ply. Il am astonished that man OF
your age should make such an exhibi-
ton OF himself and the eyes of the
iron president were snffused with tears
as without another word he bade his
ancient foe good evening.
The next day Wright called upon the
president and made out his case against
the general, and urged his removal up
on the strongest grounds. He had
hardly finished the last sentence when
Jackson sprang to his feet. flung his
pipe into the fire. and exclaimed with
great yehemence: Il take the conse-
quences, sir, |. take the consequences.
BY the eternal, will not remove the
old man. L can moi remove him. Why,
MIR. Wright, do you know that he car
ries more than pound of British lead
in, his body?"
That was the last of it. He who was
stronger than courts or cabinets pro-.
nOunced his fiat, and the happy old
postmaster next day took the stage and
returned home rejoicing. g.-AashuiiLs

Care OF the Hands.

A well-kept hand is mark Of good
breeding. A lady will not have bitten
or broken nails; neither will she keep
her hands white at the expense Of use
fulness. A hard working hand may be
neatly cared for and be far from dis
pleasing, 1t is not good plan to keep
the hands soiled longer than necessary.
Alter drawing il crayon, or gardening,
they should be well washed il warm
water and soap, and thoroughly dried.
Gloves save the hands from much wear
and tear, and If the fingers are cut on
do not hinder work. Ioung girls Of.
ten have red hands, partly the result
of poor circulation; TO remedy this,
possible, is desirable. gloves should
not be worn too tight. and frequent
washing ia warm water and honey
soap or in hot water and milk should
be followed by thorough drying and
the use OF violet powder. Glycerine
used before retiring, csmphor ball, OF
washing in hot water>and oatmeal IS
good for chapped hands. If the giy-
cerine is rubbed in while the hands are
still wet with soap and wsrm water ii
is very efficacious. Sunburnt hands
may be treated with lime water or
lemon juice. Much rougbness Of
hands might be prevented by greater
care in drying them. and a slight use
of violet powder. Chilblains on the
hands come from holding them near
the fire when they are very cold; cleo
tricity is thought to prevent them.
Warts may be removed by the appiica-
ton of fresh beef stepped twenty-four
hours in vinegar; in week they will
disappear. In England NO hand is
considered clean if the nails are not
nice. Finger-nails worn long and
pointed are not beautiful. They should
generally be cut once a week, and q
sharp pen-knife is better than scissors.
People who bite their nails deserve the
ugly appearance which follows. The
nails should be examined each morn
ing. and after washing the hands in
warm water, the cuticle about the bot
tom and side of the nail should be care
! fully pushed back with soft towel. If
more is necessary, the little ivory in
struments sold for the purpose are use
full. The best nail-powder is made OF
fine oxide of tin, pelfumed with otto OF
lavender, and tinted with carmine. II
may be rubbed ON with the finger OF
with nail -polisher covered with leath-
er. When some of the particles which
nourish the nails are Intercepted,
white spots are the result. If these
spots are not removed by the growth
Of the nail, compress wet with spirits
Of wine and camphor may be applied
and kept moist for several days. Vase
line, cold cream gently rubbed Oh for
some days will also make the spots. dis
